8 Hours of Slovakia Ring: victory decided at the last minute

The two Yamaha factory teams disputed the Slovakia Ring 8 Hours until the end, with the final triumph of being part of YART Yamaha.

The Austrian Yamaha reached the lead of the race after 1h30m of testing and knew to keep the place to add the first points of the season and soon in great style, with the final triumph. The Yamaha GMT94 came in second.

Broc Parkes, Marvin Fritz and Max Neukirchner were able to manage the front of the race and sustained the attacks of David Checa, Niccolò Canepa and Mike Di Meglio of GMT94. Who also had one word to say was the F.C.C. TSR Honda France, with Freddy Foray, Alan Techer and Josh Hook. The leaders of the Endurance World Championship beat the lap record time on the slovakian track, even though they couldn’t keep up with Yamaha rivals.

With this result, F.C.C. TSR Honda France continues to lead the world, only one point ahead of GMT94 Yamaha. Right next to the podium was another Honda CBR 1000 RR, from Honda Endurance Racing. The Suzuki Endurance Racing Team, one of the favorites, wasn’t beyond seventh.
